✍️ Match Preview

Analysis

SC Freiburg make the trip to Millerntor-Stadion to face FC St. Pauli in Bundesliga, Regular Season - 27. The match kicks off on Sunday 22 March 2026 at 16:30 UTC.

Form

FC St. Pauli (all games): 3W 3D 4L across 10 Bundesliga fixtures this term — 1.20 PPG. Last five: L W W D L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

SC Freiburg have collected 1.10 PPG across 10 Bundesliga outings this season: 3W 2D 5L. Last five: L W L D L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for SC Freiburg, so this record blends games from this season and last.

SC Freiburg's form when playing away from home: 1W 2D 7L across 10 road games this term (0.50 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 2.30 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.20 PPG for FC St. Pauli against 1.10 for SC Freiburg. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

H2H History

The head-to-head record is closely matched — FC St. Pauli lead 1W to 2W over the last 3 encounters, with 0 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.

The 3 previous meetings have averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 9 Nov 2025, ended 1–2 with SC Freiburg winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC St. Pauli 1.40 xG and SC Freiburg 0.89 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: FC St. Pauli attack 0.725 / defence 0.858 | SC Freiburg attack 0.769 / defence 1.140. League average goals — home 1.690 / away 1.355. FC St. Pauli's attack strength of 0.725 is below the league average — the 1.40 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 60 FC St. Pauli games / 60 SC Freiburg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FC St. Pauli 49% | Draw 28% | SC Freiburg 24%. Fair-value odds: FC St. Pauli 2.04 | Draw 3.57 | SC Freiburg 4.17. FC St. Pauli hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.29. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.29 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, FC St. Pauli are the pick at 49% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC St. Pauli if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.29 combined xG gives a 40% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 45%. Form rates corroborate: FC St. Pauli 50% | SC Freiburg 40% BTTS from recent games.
